Michael Maloof: : Not at all. They are not in the city yet. They are only on the outskirts. They are maybe roughly about 30 miles out. They haven?t even penetrated the city, which still has more than a million people. That is going to be house to house, room to room, virtually. It probably will take all of next year. They anticipated that this thing would be over in a few weeks, and then it was going to be a few months. I think it is going to be almost a whole year if they can hold out, and if they have the stamina to deal with it. When you?re dealing with a city like that, where people are being held hostage, it is going to be very, very hard.
